Lebanon,Mo.-While Mother Nature washed out the regular Friday night points show,Officials made the quick decision to run on Sat night a make-up race and it paid off very well as 98 race teams were greated with an excellent racing surface and many side by side battles all night long.
In the USRA Modified feature,2005 champion and current point leader Jamie Ragland brought the field to the green with Don Luna to his outside.Ragland grabbed the early lead with veteran Rex Merritt right on his bumper followed by Luna,Scotty Allen and Central Missouri standout Eric Turner.With Merritt applying pressure the whole time,Ragland would stay glued to the bottom as 6th starting Turner was moving to the high groove and charging quickly.On lap 4,Turner's strong run ended with a brake line coming loose ending his night.Out front,Ragland and Merritt were still wagging war as Scotty Allen and defending champion Eric Hudson ran side by side for over 10 laps.On lap 15,Hudson moved around Allen to take over third place and started to run down the lead duo.Ragland and Merritt were showing the crowd how to race hard and clean as both drivers enetered lapped traffic while Hudson was swinging on the top groove.Heading for the white flag,Merritt tried a low groove move,as Ragland shut the door and Hudson was coming quickly on the top groove.As they crossed the finish line,Ragland withstood several attempts to capture his second win of the season followed closely by Merritt,Hudson,Justin Neuman and Allen.
The FactoryStock feature would see its 6th different winner in 6 features this season as Ben Solberg grabbed the opening lead with Tim Petty close behind as Brian Webster was following.Solberg would continue to head the pack until lap 8 when a right rear tire was going flat slowing up his run.Tim Petty would take control as Mark Bourey made a charge from the 3rd row to challange and Dusty Rhoads was charging hard to grab a top 5 run.Petty and Bourey ran side by side until lap 11 when the lead duo made contact in turn 3 letting Bourey take over.On the next lap,Petty and Bourey made contact in turn 2 giving Petty the lead,but Bourey took back over control and held off repeated challanges from Petty to take his first Midway win with Petty,Rhoads,Webster and a wild photo finish for 5th found Doug Rich crossing the line in the air for position.
